Theresa M. Driessen, age 92, was peacefully called home into the loving arms of Jesus on May 25, 2026. A woman deeply devoted to her Catholic Faith, she lived her life as a shining example of prayer, compassion and unwavering trust in the Lord.

On August 20, 1960, Theresa married Richard Driessen at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church in Little Chute. She was a proud member of the Widows of Prayer, where she found strength and fellowship through prayer and spiritual devotion. Her faith journey also led her on many treasured pilgrimages abroad, including visits to the Holy Land, Spain, Rome and Italy. While faith was her greatest passion, Theresa also found happiness in life’s simple joys. She loved dancing, playing cards and spending time with those she loved. Her warm spirit, gentle heart and deep devotion to God touched countless lives and will never be forgotten.
